However, flat belts also have disadvantages. Their efficiency can decrease significantly under heavy loads, as they rely on friction to transmit power. This limitation can lead to slippage, especially when the load exceeds the belt's capacity. Consequently, flat belts are less suitable for high-torque applications where a consistent grip is essential. Furthermore, the alignment of the pulleys must be precise; any misalignment could cause significant wear or failure.

At its core, an automatic belt is designed to eliminate the traditional belt's need for holes and manual adjustment. Utilizing various mechanisms, such as ratchet systems or motorized functions, these belts allow for seamless tightening and loosening. The user can easily adjust the fit by simply sliding the belt through the buckle, which then locks into place. This design addresses a common problem associated with conventional belts the limited sizing options and lack of precision in fit.
